A characterful Welsh hideaway, this secluded cottage has a warmth and style all of its own. Sleeping eight guests, the four-bedroom retreat sits in a serene setting at Plas, near Talgarreg, in picturesque Ceredigion. Ideal for an extended family or group of friends, the cottage, 7 miles from New Quay and 8 miles from Llandysul, also welcomes dogs. Take in the panoramic countryside views from inside or from the garden or raised deck. Lace up your hiking boots and head off on long walks from the doorstep. Spend days by the sea, swimming from beautiful beaches, such as Aberaeron, 9.5 miles away, or wandering along the Ceredigion Coast Path, looking out for dolphins and seals as you go. Plan a day out to the National Trust’s Llanerchaeron, 9 miles away. Here you can explore an elegant Georgian villa, designed by architect John Nash, and wander its walled garden and parkland.
Let yourselves into this inviting West Wales cottage and make yourselves immediately at home. With an abundance of character and colour, it offers an easy combination of traditional features and modern-day comfort. Head into the open-plan kitchen/diner to put the kettle on and make yourselves a cup of tea. Throw open the French doors on summer days so people can choose whether to amble outside or relax at the table with their hot drink. Find everything you need in here to help you rustle up tasty meals with the fresh ingredients you have sourced in the area. While away your evenings together through in the sumptuous lounge. Sink back into a plush velvet sofa to watch the Smart TV or set up a board game on the coffee table in the middle of the room. One of your bedrooms, a double with a four-poster bed, is also situated on the ground floor. This has an en-suite shower room, a gorgeous beamed and sloping ceiling, and doors to the decked terrace. Step out here with a cup of coffee on fine mornings to absorb the views. Your remaining three bedrooms – two more doubles and a twin – are up on the first floor, together with the generous family bathroom. This has both a bath and a shower to ensure you have the choice.
Spend fine days savouring your outside space. Dine alfresco out on the patio to the rear of the cottage as the children and their canine companions frolic on the lawn. Pour yourselves a cocktail to enjoy on the large, glass-balustraded raised deck as you gaze out over the countryside on balmy evenings. There is private parking here for three cars.
